Part 1 of a 2-part verse-by-verse study of Ether 1-5, which recounts the departure of the Jaredites from the Tower of Babel and the theophany of the Brother of Jared. Part 1 covers Ether 1-2 and focuses on lessons from Babel, the meaning of "Jared," the Promised Land, forgetting to pray, and why God sometimes makes life harder rather than easier.
